I'll Make a Man Out of You
in Chinese
sung by Jackie Chan
What more could you want?
Sebastian Long
Many Of Disney's stuff is supposedly better in german.
Gabriel Miller
damn, i didn't know i needed this in my life
Zachary Ramirez
I dunno, Jackie Chan is awesome and all but the original was manlier, as badass Jackie can be his voice never sounded manly to me and this is a music about bcoming a MAN.
Jackson Fisher
Tarzan - Two Worlds (Spanish)
youtu.be
Leo Nelson
Wait a minute, that's the same singer than the original version... what the fuck?
Levi Clark
dude bro son
Nathan Nguyen
Motherfucking Phill Collins, user!
youtube.com
Jace Hernandez
Wikipedia says he recorded it in English, Italian, German, Spanish, and French. That's nuts. I wonder how good they sound to fluent speakers.
Ian Clark
I had no idea Jackie could sing. I'm impressed.
Lucas Edwards
He sounds great in Spanish.
Brandon Kelly
I'm Latino and I guarantee you that Phil Collins sings better than many of our interpreters. actually he remind me of Eros Ramazzotti.
Carter Morgan
what about songs that are far far far worse in other languages?
youtube.com
Lincoln Myers
whyyy
Connor Nguyen
Jesus how awful
Jordan Phillips
I always thought Ursula sounded much more sexy and menacing in Russian.
Jason Adams
m.youtube.com
It,s pretty bassed in spanish too
Carter Ortiz
this one's cheating because it's not a translation of a pre-existing song, but I just can't resist
youtube.com
Leo Watson
Ayden Wood
>Castilian Spanish
Ryan Torres
But as a contrary
Cooper Nguyen
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
Justin Murphy
There's no fight. Only people from Spain like the way they speak.
Jaxon Ramirez
Look deustchanon, a hundred other quality anime dub openings might make up for the holocaust, but they'll never make up for
Adrian Thomas
so americans prefer Latin Spanish than Spanish-Spanish? to me they sound alike
Parker Brown
Wait, how did Tarzan's parents actually die? Did the cut to the leopard indicate that it killed them? Why didn't it also eat baby Tarzan?
Joshua Sullivan
Yep, Spaniards ruin all the good songs with their accent.
Sebastian Morris
"In the dark of the night" in russian
youtube.com
Cooper Hill
the chinese intro for steven universe is horrible, the gems are fine but then, steven shows up and...
Henry Diaz
Sorry, to be clearer: Of Spanish-speaking countries, Spain is the only one that likes Castilian Spanish.
They are different, like how American English is different from British English.
But still, there's not really a "Latin American Spanish". Pronunciation differs from country to country and from region to region. Wikipedia says it better than I can: wikiwand.com
Jack Fisher
The mom gorilla arrived just in time to save tarzan, before Sabor got a chance to eat him. Tarzan was probably quiet until the cat wandered off thinking there was nothing else to kill. You see his parents bodies in the corner with a shotgun and bloody paw prints.
Parker Fisher
Tarzan's parents probably died trying to protect their baby. also I guess he was in the house when this happened, that's why he didn't die.
Nathaniel Jackson
Oh then it is quite similar to Italian. I understand now.
Daniel Sanchez
Ethan Edwards
>latin spanish
>like italian
no, you do not understand.
James Reed
Aaron Roberts
No my friend, you see. Italian also has many variations, from North to South there are various accents and ways of speaking it.
Nicholas Carter
Yeah, that's not the same.
Hudson Perry
youtube.com
This song is so fucking good.
>you'll never dance with your waifu
Adam Peterson
italian hasn't got variations. is an integrative language. regional dialects are/were totally different.
it was a big issue during 19-20 century.
Kevin Long
I like Carmen Sarahí (Latin American Spanish).
I think it's interesting that they have videos of all these singers. It makes sense to record the original voice actors for animation purposes, but I don't think you'd need to record dub VAs. I wonder if shot them because they knew they were going to make this video beforehand or if they went back and shot the dubbers lip-syncing later.
Eli Jenkins
Honestly the entire Russian dub of the movie is fantastic. Once Upon a December is probably my favorite song in that version
Daniel Clark
I'll probably get a lot of hate because this is such a loved song, but this:
Jason Wilson
youtube.com
I really enjoyed this entire movie in finnish, i struggle watching it with the english voice overs
Easton Nelson
Foreginers usually like the hungarian Whole New World: youtube.com
Also I'll Make a Man out of You is great in any language I guess:
youtube.com
Too bad hungarian dub is pretty average-bad nowadays. Let it go sounds average at best and the translation is trash.
Jose Garcia
who knew that the show made by weebs would have a good Japanese dub
Jeremiah Ortiz
youtube.com
Robin Williams is great and all, but this is the superior version
Logan Peterson
>mfw One Piece had like 15 million theme songs after that one
>mfw every single one of them was shit
I don't care if you play it for 600 fucking episodes. If it's cool, don't fucking mess with it.
Brandon Powell
hells that Norwegian is already a sing-songs language m.youtube.com
Jordan Lopez
for some reason villain soungs thend to sound better in german
youtube.com
Michael Wright
i honestly thought that japanese people only watched jap movies, jap shows, and anime in their tv's
Luke Fisher
then how was gainax able to reference so many western cartoons in some of their anime ?
Thomas Adams
HAHA, time for SHIT
youtube.com
Jaxon Thomas
i know about that shit since astroboy, but in my mind japs only watch jap shit, or at least they prefer to
Austin Wood
That's just because you don't know the changed lyrics, user.
youtube.com
>Let us all fight together
>Let the Xiongnu become despair
>Become a manly man, don't admit defeat
Michael James
fuck you, Norwegian is amazing
Cooper Sullivan
I want this voice.
Luis Garcia
GAY VIKINGS
Dominic Carter
Soo as a Mexican-German guy I have to say that while German is my first language and Germany has most often amazing casts, due to a long tradition of dubbing, most songs they do are sub par in comparison to others.
It mostly comes down to the translators in German most of the time insisting to write very formal and exact German translations and not being willing to let the characters sing naturally (out of songs for example EVERYONE is referred to as "Sie" eventhough most of the time its obvious "du" would be a better translation.)
For example in be prepared:
"A shining new ear is tip toeing nearer- And where do we feature?- JUST LISTEN TO TEACHER"
"The golden era sneaks nearer and nearer - AND WHATS IN IT FOR US? (also prenounced in "slang" that nobody uses with that kind of voice. If the hyenas had Ruhrpott accents I would buy it, but not with those voices). -
"I won't leave you out" (pretty much a line just added to keep a rhyme, but missing the arrogance and patronizing style of the original listen to teacher, which is underlined by the gesture).
Anyways, good songs from Latin America and Germany.
youtube.com
Not better than the original, but pretty good.
youtube.com
Yeah, not Sup Forums, but really one of the best openings Germany ever produced.
Ethan Murphy
wat
Oliver Wright
Just fuck up your voice with smoking, alcohol and coal senpai
Adam Powell
youtube.com
I am probably biased, but the Croatian version of On My Way sounds much better.
Oliver Dragojević 4 Lyfe.
Owen Powell
You misspelled "Latinos"
Jordan Sanders
>latino
ree, etc.
Juan Walker
im a white ass fucking american and i can safely say latinos make spanish actually seem like an appealing language. spaniards just make it sound pretentious and almost as foul as french in one breath
Cooper Brown
I AM norwegian, you crust!
Our cartoons are notoriously horribly dubbed!
Liam Murphy
>to me they sound alike
The defining difference would be castillian having 'ce', 'ci' and 'z' be the 'th' in "something" (thus why we lisp, there's no english 'z' in spanish at all), while latin will change the 'th' into an 's', or some other sound.
Then you have that weird funny way they talk, kinda like singing, like english does. Castillian is more monotone, like finnish. Festive vs serious/rude

Based Richard Darbois
Jason Long
If I dance with a chick is cosplay it's almost the same.
Brayden Bailey
Even though a large portion of the US army is hispanic and and they can speak Spanish, the US army doesn't count it as being bilingual because the US army's test is for Spanish like in Spain. Lots of butt hurt brown babies because the tests are very serious and they can't pass it
Jonathan Lee
i liked it
Henry Campbell
You can think Hitler for that, they are superior.
Jacob Martinez
Luis Lopez
This film was my shit as a kid.
Cameron Gomez

I like the Japanese the most. actually Japanese has a natural advantage, because how it's phonetics is structured: a consonant is always followed by a vocal - you may not always find a rhyme, but it'll always flow in rhythm. On the other hand languages like Polish or Finnish (or any nordic/slavic actually... my native lang is Russian btw) struggle because 2, 3 or even 4 consonants can stack in one word...

not exactly made to sound melodic.
Benjamin Hughes
Not as bad as I expected it to be from reading your post.
Xavier Brown
Christian Bennett
I live in Germany and I hate their dubs, because there is like one single VA agency here and every tv, cartoon, movie, show or whatever is dubbed by the same guys... even if you watch some 20yo reruns they are still there. they may be not the worst VAs but they do everything with the same expressions and intonations. Gott sei dank, they can't sing therefore are forced to hire actual singers for the songs and intros.
youtube.com
Alexander Anderson
That's why the old dub version of Ariel is often preferred.
That being said I think they improved on some of the weird lyrics of Be Prepared
Jeremiah Gray

Nolan James
He can sing, too?
Jacob Mitchell
Does anyone else really like seeing how lyrics are adapted into other languages to fit meter, rhyming, and local idioms?
Except for Japanese translations, because Japan somehow thinks not rhyming is okay.
Noah Clark
I do, if the adaptation has managed to be at least melodic in its own way (not asking to be the same as original ofc) - then I would check how well it also manages to convey the same meaning. if it sounds meh idc for localization value as well.
Cooper Lewis
Mason James
Leo Hernandez
Friend Like Me is god damn glorious in Finnish.youtube.com
Dylan Hughes
"Original Language" dub time?
youtube.com
Infernal (Hellfire) - French
youtube.com
Be Prepared - Zulu
youtube.com
Bare Necessities - Hindi
youtube.com
Go the Distance - Greek
youtube.com
When You Believe - Hebrew
People often suggest the Arabic dubs of Aladdin, but I don't actually find them all that good. Same with Infernal, actually, but I rarely see that posted. The original Hellfire in English was just really fucking good too, to be fair. Be Prepared in Zulu, Bare Necessities in Hindi, When You Believe in Hebrew, and a lot of the Hercules songs in Greek sound very good and more fit the OP topic.
Levi Taylor
Two Worlds sounds fucking amazing
Luke Peterson
i am portuguese and i remember watching the BR dubs of Disney classics, brazillian dubs are based as fuck, especially Robin Hood
Nicholas Jones
I didn't know that. thanks for the info!
Dylan Ross
this one is pretty good aswell
Kayden Howard
The Czech version of "He Lives in You 'is pretty good.
Parker Foster
It triggers me that this isn't sung in a Spanish accent.
Anyway, youtube.com
I wouldn't say it's better, since the original is really fucking good, but it definitely adds something the original lacks.
Parker Jones
Wow, I heard the orgininal yesterday and it was trash for the most part. Despite the inherent lack of an actual song to work with, this is pretty fucking good. Whoever's voicing Ruber here is fantastic.
Ryder Walker
Hudson Green
Translating stuff into Hebrew is really hard, but when it's done well, it's great.

Lincoln Baker
A lot of dubbers fall to the trap of trying to convey the lyrics TOO accurately, at the cost of the flow of the song. I prefer changing the lyrics and keeping to melody.
Xavier Lewis
Any place where I can download animated films subbed in German or watch them online?
